How can you call that a democracy?

So humanity is at a crossroads.

where for the first time ever we need to wake up and realize that we're ruled by maniacs and what we believe is democracy is not democracy and what we know is not the truth like companies and governments will blame the geopolitical and economic challenges we have on ai but the truth is ai
